No it isn't only about quality of opponents...........Joe Loius is considered by many, including myself, to be the best Heavyweight ever based...
True. Big Geroge had a bit of an ego too, he named all his kids George didn't he? :yep

Would you mind posting 19 better Heavyweights from history please? :D I think you'll be surprised how few Heavys are better skilled, better head...
